Ansan, HL/SL-008 Seoul Revisited. Mt Little Joe VK3/VC-027 SOTA →. July 24, 2015. I recently obtained a Yaesu VX-8DR, primarily for use on SOTA activations. The radio has the six metre band, which is a bonus as SOTA is presently running a six metre challenge. It’s a nice little radio with lots of features, especially the APRS integration. The Ublox can be monitored and configured by this great program. The whole thing works fine, although the battery inside the box must be switched off when not in use...

marxy's musing on technology: January 2015

Marxy's musing on technology. A bloke with too many hobbies. Saturday, January 31, 2015. OpenRadio SDR kit build. This year in Aukland had a radio track where a low cost software defined radio receiver with some limited ability to transmit was launched. My kit arrived last week. Is first class. While there is some surface mount soldering required - a challenge for me certainly, they've been kind enough to pre-solder two of the most difficult devices. 03 Jan 31 2015 09:37:39. RX Frequency (Hz): 8986000.
